Bardejov

oung Hilnka Guards disrupt a peaceful morning in Bardejov, plastering posters demanding that every Jew in town registers for work. Rafuel Lowy, a rabbi and wine maker meets with the Jewish council to make a plan of action against the Guard’s orders, keeping all boys in town in the brewery. After the town’s girls are able to sneak in and get boys out, with the rest released the next morning, another order is issued: all girls in the town must present themselves for work in a shoe factory in the East, with no exception. The streets erupt with chaos. After Lowy discovers there is no shoe factory and the girls will be taken to Auschwitz, they plan to administer Typhus shots on the girls to force quarantine in the town and attempt to save the girls.

Bukowski: Born into This

This documentary traces the life of poet and author Charles Bukowski, a writer whose works were often full of despair, debauchery, and dirty language. It focuses more on Bukowski the real man than on the myth he created and cultivated. Acknowledged as an unsentimental and often brutal writer who lived his life as if it were a novel, Bukowski is revealed here to be both human and humane — an artist greater than the sum of his experiences.

Battle for Paradise

This is the epic adventure of how an 18th century Hawaiian tribal leader, Kamehameha (The Rock), conquered the seven main islands of Hawaii, and linked those tribes together as a single kingdom under his rule, which established them as a nation rather than a collection of feuding tribes. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as this consolidation also allowed King Kamehameha to more adequately deal with the English explorers who came to the islands, starting with Captain Cook, who brought to Hawaii the wonders of modern technology, like firearms and tall-mast sailing.

Borgia

In 1492, the Pope dies and Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia emerges as the top contender to head the Vatican, despite a litter of illegitimate children. When he gets the papal throne, Rodrigo moves to consolidate his power thereby empowering and alienating various members of his family.

Johansson will play Rodrigo's daughter Lucrezia Borgia, who's torn between her family duties and a desire to find true love. Farrell will play Rodrigo's youngest sun Cesare, a duplicitous and manipulative sibling who considers himself his sister's closest confidante.
